CX tyres recommendations?
Discussion
Anyone have a recommendation for more road biased CX tyres?
At the moment I'm running Schwalbe Rapid Robs, but now we're getting slightly more decent weather I'm looking to swap to something a bit slicker to use on the road and canal towpaths. Currently looking at Continental Cyclocross Speed, or Schwalbe Sammy Slicks - if anyone is using/has used these would be good to hear any feedback, or if anyone has another tyre they rate.
Cheers

Been using Schwalbe CX Comp on my hardtail for 80% tarmac commuting and 20% riverside paths with a modest amount of sand and mud for the last ~1000 miles after my Conti Sport Contacts gave me a trip to A&E following a fall on a wet towpath last year.
Cheap and effective tyre and I'm happy with them - although no personal experience of any other CX tyre.

Hi
I am on my third set of Sammy Slicks. They roll very well and soak up rough terrain very well. Lower the pressure and they are great on all kinds of terrain inc gravel. I have only had punctures because of thorns.
My kids had those Continental ones and had a puncture every time they went out.
My friend also uses the Sammy Slicks and has had the same positive experience.

Sammy Slicks look good.
My wife wants to use our CX bike for a sportive but she's developed an unhealthy addiction to running around the lanes on my tubeless Clement PDX mud tyres which have taken a hammering in only a few weeks.
Has anyone got Sammy Slicks to work tubeless on Stans? I got Racing Ralphs to work but only at 40psi so useless for CX racing but not bad for road? Or should I spend a bit more and get Clement LAS or USH?
